6 Jan, Fri

Fri, 6 Jan more work around the cattery. late in the afternoon Neil returned from finishing his scuba certification and helped put a 'pitch' on a roof enclosure that has been leaking. it was quite a project, and not one that i would have been able to accomplish on my own. thank you Neil ! we showered and headed back to The Enjoy Bar for dinner this time. it was Neil's last night on the island, and party-ing was on the agenda. we were joined again by Steve, and also Stefan from Paris, and Anders from Sweden. the restaurant had lobster tonight and it was wonderful. i had the B$25 lobster, there were larger ones for B$30, $40, and $85. here is Neil holding the $85 monster! dinner was great and included a conch ceviche appetizer (kind of like fresh salsa with conch meat), a shrimp kabob, garlic bread, and fresh fruit. after diner, we moved on to the Sports Bar where we participated in their Trivia Contest. our team name was United Nations since our group consisted of members from the USA, Canada, UK, France, and Sweden. we came in second in the first round and didn't place in the second round. i now have a reputation among this group. one of the questions was "what was the largest grossing porn film made". several of the guys immediately said "Debbie Does Dallas" ...... i immediately thought "Deep Throat" ... but i'm a dinosaur, what do i know. we submitted "Debbie Does Dallas" and ... the answer was wrong; my answer was the correct one ... :) we left there and headed to the I&I Bar .... it's a reggae bar and kind of like a 'tree house'. there are multi levels, they are all open air, and have swings to sit on. i hung with the 'kids' until about 11pm; then headed for home. the rest of the group stayed on. age and experience does have it's advantages, i felt great the next day :)
